Description
Teddy Bear Smithsonian Sterling Ornament 1996 Hand and Hammer #1863. This delightful Sterling Silver ornament is in the form of the ever-popular “Teddy Bear.” The Teddy originated from a hunting trip President Theodore Roosevelt took in 1902. Eager to have the President bag a trophy, members of the hunting party tied a 235lb. black bear to a tree. Roosevelt refused to shoot under such unsportsman-like conditions, and Clifford Berryman immortalized this act in an editorial cartoon. Although it’s original toymaker is lost to history, the Teddy Bear is more popular now than ever.
The size of this ornament is about 2″ Tall by 1-3/4″ Wide. Hand and Hammer ornaments are the perfect size to wear on a chain as a pendant. Hand Made in the USA!
We look forward to having you as one of our Happy Buyers.
